NH Native Talking ONE with McCain
Share
Sen. McCain campaigned in New Hampshire over the weekend and many ONE members were able to catch up with him on the campaign trail to make sure he knows that saving lives in Africa is not only possible, but it is a priority!
New Hampshire native Emerson Lennon was able to attend a town hall meeting with Sen. McCain at Dartmouth College in Hanover. He passed out ONE Vote ‘08 literature and even got a chance to speak with Sen. McCain after the event. Emerson told me that Sen. McCain told him how good it was to see ONE again and how much he supports our efforts. He even snapped a quick photo for the blog!
Way to go Emerson!

More liberal nonsense from McCain. Like we, a country in massive debt, can afford to erase poverty in other countries? These young people need to get a life and get real!

Alll response is appreciated, so thank you. Afterall, free speach is one of the principles on which this great nation was founded. good job. it’s funny how being an a**hole can come along with this principle.
However, perhaps before you choose to again run your mouth which quite obviously lacks any educated backing, next time take a look at the ONE campaign’s website and you will find that the ONE campaign’s whole philosophy and approach for the most part does not require a level of government spending that would do our country any considerable harm, but would so positively impact the campaign’s targeted nations.
We young people are “real!” as you so eloquently put it, and we have lives with which we are voicing our opinions as well. Part of the next administration’s duty will be to restructure and rehibilitate our nation’s relationships with the great number of other countries that have turned against us for various reasons; many of which you are hopefully aware.
WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THIS HAPPENS!
This country can only be the greatest nation in the world if we take into consideration all the other nations that fall second, and third, and seventh and tenth to us. These other not so fortunate nations just so happen to be in part, our responsibility too.
